The OFFICIAL Peyton Manning Sweepstakes thread...

[GoChargers]

If he wants a better chance at winning he would go to Tennessee or San Fran.

Look how easily SF won their division last year. Tennessee will be fighting it out with the Texans, who are decent and the Colts/Jaguars who likely have no chance at the division next season.

Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs
Colts, Jaguars, Texans
Cardinals, Rams, Seahawks

toughest division to win would be AFC West followed by AFC South only because of the Texans.

 

[GoChargers]

And in terms of offensive talent, Denver come up 3rd as well depending on what happens in the draft.

Tennessee or SF certainly seem his best options.

This is a stupid discussion that I'm not going to have with you homers.

One team went 13-3 and was a field goal away from beating the entail super bowl champs.

One team squeaked into the playoffs only because a handful of miracles and the other team didn't make the playoffs and let a team win their division with a 3rd string rookie QB.

That's all there is to it at this point.

I've been saying that San Francisco is his best shot to win a Super Bowl and they clearly have the better team (even if TEN or DEN were to get Peyton).

I'm just saying it's not so far-fetched to think Tennessee has the best offensive weapons out of the three teams and I believe we offer more than what Denver does.

Would Wes Welker be an All-Pro without Tom Brady?

I love you you are just negating the fact that Thomas had to ad lib most of his shit.

And why shouldn't I compare his numbers to Johnson's? Through the same number of games they are COMPARABLE.

And that's with the guy getting the ball to CJ being able to actually complete 50% of their passes.

When Thomas has been healthy and on the field, he's been unstoppable at times. If he had a guy like Manning throwing him the ball and working with him on his routes and timing he would be one of the best WRs in the league and I don't really care whether you think so or not.

:lol:

The Denver Post reports the Broncos left free agent Peyton Manning's Friday workout for the team with "diminished expectations" they will be able to sign him.

 

[Vice88]

He has been saying, though, that he'd like to stay in the AFC for a chance to play against Eli in the Super Bowl... that's a pretty lofty goal, though, with a lot that would need to fall in place, but time will tell as it always does.

 

[Shayn•Da•Pain]

lol @ diminished expectations, that's just funny.

Manning has been saying all along, it's not about the money. Well, it's a business, and he's looking to be compensated well, but I don't think he's going to sign with the highest bidder.

I think he goes in and makes each of these teams contenders. Houston lost Mario Williams, so even they are easier to beat now. Tenn can cakewalk to the playoffs. But I don't think the "lifetime" deal means dick. When Manning retires GM jobs will be there for him. Half the teams in the league will drop on their knees and suck him off to be there GM. Including Tennessee.

In Denver he has a tougher schedule. The chiefs get Chiefs get Charles back, with Hillis and a stout defense. I expect the Raiders to be better, and the Chargers to stop regressing. All decent teams. If Manning wants money, he'll land in Denver. But I don't think he does. I think the fact that Denver overbid so high for Manning is evidence that they aren't the favorites, and needed to give a crazy offer to entice him.

With the 9ers though, I'd say they are the odds on favorite of all 32 teams to win the SB if Manning lands there. #1 ranked D, Gore is the best receiving back out of the 3 teams available to him, Davis Harbaugh speaks Manning's language and has groomed these players to play for a guy like Manning. It's just a perfect fit for a new era in San Francisco. I don't think Manning will pass this opportunity up.

 

[Goober]

Well.. It was fun while it lasted.

Now I can go back to rooting for his head to be ripped off.

Peyton Manning probably doesn't wear Batman shirts anyways, so fuck him.

Why does everyone think Jacksonville has no shot at the AFC South, always writing us off. Probably the same geniuses that wrote off San Francisco before last season. BTW historically Peyton Manning looks very human against the Jaguars.

Historically, Peyton Manning holds a 14-5 record against the Jaguars. Hell, the only team he's beat more than Jacksonville is Houston (16-2). He has a 108.8 QB rating, completing 72% of his passes for 5,241 yards, 38 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. That's more passing yards and touchdowns than any other team team he's faced. If that's pedestrian...I'd love to see great.

Aside from that, your Jaguars have made the playoffs twice in the last twelve years. And to say your rookie QB had a rough first year would be an understatement. Why wouldn't we write them off?

No reason. Just the roster, the coaching staff and the front office.

they arent terrible im just saying Gabbert has some progressing to do before they really contend for the Division title.

Everyone on this board has made up their mind on Gabbert so Jacksonville just might as well pack it up as a franchise.

 

[Buzzman]

They really should just pack it up as a franchise. Even when they made the playoffs, people said they sucked.

Coming from the fan of a franchise who hasn't won a playoff game since 1992.

Isnt that more of a sign how fucked the Jaguars are when a Lions fan can shit on them.
